Either I'm misreading the community, or he is.
I got burned out and left WoW, after 3 years of leading a raiding guild, because frankly the content never slowed down, and made the game a perpetual treadmill.
There is no time to enjoy the content, because they barely give regular guilds a chance to do it before they start nerfing the difficulty and pushing a new raid out. I got severe burn out, and left. There were times in WotLK where we wouldn't even wear epic gear for a month before we were replacing it with newer stuff. There is no valley, just an unending uphill climb.
Yes, I quit the game over a year ago because the repetition became mind-numbing. Daily quests, badge collecting, rushing through instances--it became torture and I finally woke up and asked myself, Why am I doing this? When the vanilla game came out in 2004, the reason I got hooked was because it offered some adventure and spontaneity. You could travel around the world, run into people, and things would happen. That's all gone. Now all people do is stand in one spot and hit the instance que button.
